Yes, let’s base major chunks of our pharma manufacturing in a place where a hurricane could take the plants down for months.

Why Puerto Rico? Why not Oklahoma, Texas or Wyoming? America first!

I’d settle for PR....these vital Rx drugs MUST be returned to being manufactured under USA control....NOT China!!

"Policymakers should consider bringing back these strategic tax breaks"

They could give the breaks to Grand Island, Nebraska...

It needs to be several places. Why not West Virginia? I don’t think I have ever heard of a hurricane or tornado etc hitting there and it might help.

No. Bring production back to the USA proper. Many lives depend on medications and we whould be self-sufficent on such an important commodity.

President Bill Clinton signed a law that started to phase out the tax breaks during the 1990s.
 
Anything that would hasten the transfer of manufacturing out of the western hemisphere over to his buddies in ChiCom land, Billy Jeff was too happy to facilitate. China has the Wuhan virus - we have the Clintons.

How hard is this? It’s not like we have to start a Manhattan Project and apply a new form of energy to the problem.

Find a few distressed areas, build a few factories. What are they doing in Detroit these days, or Youngstown? Places where there are already highways and houses, but no workers because no work.

Only if they ban ALL H1-B visas for the plants.

I’d prefer that drug production come back to the United States.

Tariffs on pharmaceuticals and their ingredients would encourage production startups all over the US, which would be a more robust solution.

You NEVER want any critical item sourced in just one place, even if it’s a big place like China.

Why stop with Puerto Rico? Why not the entire US?
